I had to go to the dentist this past Thursday. 😦 No, it wasn’t just a regular cleaning/check-up – that happened a few weeks ago. This appointment was to “fix” a tooth. My dentist wasn’t quite sure what was going on with it. He said it was either partially fractured or I had a nasty cavity. In this situation neither outcome is ideal, but if I had pick, I was hoping for the cavity.

Plus, I still have about 7 mangoes to eat before they shrivel up into rotten oblivion.

The good news is, Bryan is home (yippee!) to help me on Mandy’s Mango Consumption Mission. And more good news is that I made a kick-ass smoothie that I know will have me well on my way to conquering this ongoing mango journey.

This may come as a surprise to y’all, but I am not a huge fan of spinach. Shocking, right? I don’t know what it is about it, but it’s never been a type of green that tickles my fancy. Perhaps it’s the boring, bland taste…or the large and obnoxious tasteless stems…

I haven’t had my usual ravenous appetite lately – probably because I have had a lot of personal stuff on my mind, and I’ve also been playing outside in the sun a lot. I don’t know about you, but whenever I am out in the heat, I tend to lose my appetite for some reason.

Needless to say, I know I need to eat, so I’ve been trying to make a compromise with my tummy by drinking a lot of smoothies – I feel like this is a fair compromise because it allows me to get some good nutrients, while not making my tummy turn in circles.

I’ve been on a smoothie kick lately. But, like most people, I don’t crave them for breakfast, I seem to almost always want them at lunchtime. Unfortunately, I’m usually at work during lunch, so I always make sure I get my smoothie fix on my days off.
